Dec 24, 2023 · And, the benefit of the SCAR is that FN has already set up their barrels assemblies to run plug and play, so you don’t have to think about it. The barrel length discussion is more of an AR topic as that system has reliability issues tied to barrel length that short-stroke system mitigate with the barrel-mounted piston.

Mar 21, 2024 · At the fun shop picking up a new scar 16. I already have a 17 with a nightforce 1-8. Looking to pick up an optic set up for the 16 (nrch) probably off the ee. I have a vortex razor gen 3 1-10 on a hk mr556 and had a eotech exps 3 on that gun before as well. Like both of those but trying to figure out which route to go.

Feb 16, 2025 · In my case, I've got other AR's that I can get my .556 fix with, even if they aren't a SCAR 16, I can still run the caliber, do what I want to do. What I didn't have is modern .308 semi-auto rifle. The SCAR 17 scratches that itch, allows me to go out a little longer (expect to be moving this spring, and the new area has a great 1,000 yard range ...

Oct 20, 2015 · The SCAR bolt is a significant upgrade from a standard AR bolt, they are absolutely not interchangeable and yes only FN makes the SCAR bolt. The problem with the AR-15 bolt is it was designed around a 20" rifle gas length & rifle buffered AR, on that particularly configuration the bolt should last the life of the barrel.

Aug 20, 2015 · Hello everyone, I just got a stamp for my SCAR 16 SBR and it's wonderful. Absolute dream. I did some run n' gun training today and noticed I was having some failures to feed, almost every time being the very first round fed from a nearly-full magazine (I load only to 27 or 28 rounds). I di

Sep 22, 2014 · 1) Reliability is the most important factor (in both the SCAR and AR). 2) I would like the magazines to function properly without any alterations in the firearms or the magazines (PMAG issues with the SCAR bolt catch come to mind). 3) Price is really not an issue. 4) I would only like one kind of magazine, not multiple types for multiple rifles.
